Show Journal 2004-09-18
Day 2 – Pretty dismal start to the tour as we ended up leaving Portland late and arrived to the show in Bend 10 minutes after Thirty3 finished. This was not good because we were supposed to be playing second. Oops. Somehow during the set I knocked the living hell out of my hand and thought I had broken it. It instantly swelled up and it hurt to even strum the guitar. Rock and roll. The show went well. If we hadn’t been so rushed I would say it was one of the most fun shows we’d hand in Bend in sometime. Thanks to Kaylin and PJ for hooking that up. No thanks to the vandals who insisted on spray painting the venue during the show. Afterwards we went to Sharis to hang out. This was the first time in almost 3 years we didn’t have to drive home from Bend after the show so we were stoked on that. After food and gossip we followed Kaylin to her Dad’s house. I’m amazed we could follow her since her headlight points 90 degrees left and illuminates the side of the road. We were also warned “don’t hang your genitalia on the couch.” This wasn’t really going to be an issue but we found it odd that someone actually made a rule about it. To create a rule probably means it happened more than once. Needless to say I slept with my sleeping bag zipped up as not to touch the couch fabric.
